A mail error is breaking many things, including the daily reports and sanity test failures. This problem is only on production, not on dev.

Late yesterday, I noticed a couple of sanity test failures. What was interesting about these reports was the lack of an error message. I emailed the committer to let them know I was looking into it. There were two failures. The first against devel/aunit; the second against devel/florist-gpl. By the time you read this, the …

FreshPorts has a long history of Sanity Testing each commit to the FreeBSD Ports tree. It has been doing this for two main reasons: Ensure the integrity of the FreshPorts database Help correct obvious errors as soon as possible In 2002, FreshPorts allowed committers to opt in to receiving these notifications directly.
